0 (the case or form of) a noun, pronoun etc which shows possession -- genitiv, eieform
Such adnominal genitives had the determinative function and tended to be preposed.
Therefore, a noun phrase containing its head noun plus a postnominal genitive nominal in fact consisted of two noun phrases.
These determiner genitives easily vary with corresponding noun modifiers in contexts where the whole construction is definite and specific.
A genitive nominal, on the other hand, signals that the designated thing is not there as a participant of the event in question.
But it is only by rejecting the possibly left-dislocated examples that we can tell a coherent story about agreement of the separated genitive.
The separated genitive becomes much more common at the end of the fourteenth century than it was earlier, and it is not restricted in register.
The genitive case has three different markers, each restricted to a different subset of nouns, in both the singular and the plural.
Even more surprising is the fact acquisition of the genitive singular is virtually errorless.
